Both TAPMI and KJ SOMAIYA are at par when comparing marketing curriculum and faculty, but overall TAPMI is slightly better when comparing the highest, median and mean packages and placements. 

Below is a table showing the fees, highest salary package, and average salary package;

This is overall data though. TAPMI has better RoI between the two, but the decision is ultimately yours which will depend on your goals, preferences, and any constraints you have.

If you want certain features like high-quality infrastructure, a diverse student body, or a wonderful location, BIM may not be the best choice. 

However, BIM is a good choice if you want to learn management in its purest form, study with famous professors, have a high return on investment, experience southern Indian culture, enjoy a variety of extracurricular events & an active nightlife, and have great job opportunities, including at McKinsey, Asian Paints, and E&Y. BIM as a business school is great, but it may not suit everyone.

To get admission in GIM Goa, I think 89.5 percentile and general non-engineer is a decent profile. People start to get admissions into baby IIMs from 93-94 percentile, so it seems easy at this profile all you need to do is excel in the interview and group discussion (if GIM organizes one). 

Between TAPMI and FORE, you can go for TAPMI, as it offers good placements and a good lifestyle, FORE is also a good option if you are a Delhi or nearby resident I would suggest opting for FORE, as the ROI for both the institutes are almost identical. Still, apart from ROI, TAPMI excels in other parameters.

Based on location, reputation, and potential for job placement, the first college on the list, "Great Lakes," is the best, but it is only for people with work experience and not for freshers. 

"FORE," located in Delhi, is the second best college and its institutional location makes industry exposure easy. 

"Goa Institute," is not as good as the first two but still has good characteristics. 

Last on the list is "TAPMI," which lacks a strong alumni base, and its graduates may have less networking and job chances than graduates from other universities with larger alumni networks.

Given to choose, TAPMI is the college I would like to go based on ROI, faculties, Pedagogy, curriculum and placements. TAPMI’s NIRF 2022 rank is also 38th in the country which is above some 3rd gen IIMs. It is also accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and AMBA.

It is also equipped with state of the art labs like Finance Lab, Analytics lab, Operations Lab and Creativity lab.

It offers Merit based scholarships to 50 students every year. Scholarships are awarded to students by categorizing them into four categories such as Category I, II, III and IV.

TAPMI is in Manipal, Karnataka, while FORE is in Delhi, a marketing and advertising centre. FORE's robust industry interface allows students to communicate with industry experts and learn marketing skills. However, TAPMI emphasizes analytical skills and has a tough academic program.

FORE and TAPMI have good placement records, averaging 12-13 lakhs each year. FORE has partnerships with prominent marketing recruiters, while TAPMI's alumni network can help with placements.
